In both my Fall 2017/2018 semester I participated in the yearly challenge known as the Data Analytics Challenge. What the challenge is was we were given three different topics to choose from. Each topic had its […]

This semester, for the first time, I had the honor of mentoring two students for the Spring 2019 semester. The program focused on helping students who are new to the program and/or AIS and gain support and tips […]

Our project we are currently and are wrapping up on is called Cleansing Big Data. The main focus of this project is to take ambiguous data that our client has provided and build it up to the end goal or the big […]

Google is joining in on the video gaming market and introducing its own video game console……..without the console. What Google is introducing is a cloud-based system that allows users to use their phones, […]

Very interesting topic choice. I can’t see this as disruptive innovation only because, as you mentioned, Steam already exists. From my understanding, Google is not innovating here. They are just entering a market with their own version of an existing product. That being said, I do see the likelihood that physical gaming consoles become much less popular in the coming years thanks to services like this. Instead of shelling out $300 every time a new gaming console comes out, having one powerful PC that lasts you a long time could be a much better financial decision. Already, many consumers are choosing to download their games instead of buying physical discs even though they own a console. Do you see consoles becoming extinct in the near future or do you think that these companies will come up with a way to keep their consoles relevant?

VR in this situation is a little interesting considering what it offers. My only issue with this is that as I talked about in my previous comment if people are comfortable the stand-alone product in which case it’s just broadcasting tv then they won’t shift over to VR. This biggest issue that VR in a situation is facing is that it’s costly to do…[Read more]

To answer your question, beyond beef would need to make the consumer comfortable with this new concept before meat lover consumers would be comfortable with this idea. It’s very similar to what Tesla is in right now where we have this new and innovative product, but all aren’t on board with the idea. What they need to do is have consumers to have…[Read more]

I feel this is important especially since more and more people are jumping in to understand vr/ar and its full capabilities. Introducing these courses allows people who are interested in learning and even wanna pursue in fields related to vr/ar to learn what people know so far about what vr/ar has to offer. Not only that but having more people on…[Read more]

Recently the UK government has announced that they will be funding 40 AI and data analytic projects which are projected to be worth around 13 million euros or in us dollars around 16.8 million. The reseasoning fo […]

I agreed 100% with you that the UK government is prioritizing the right technology. However, I’d love to see more clarification on what kind of AI technology is being developed. AI is very broad with three main levels: Artificial Narrow Intelligence (ANI), Artificial General Intelligence (AGI), and Artificial Superintelligence (ASI). ANI machines specialize in one area. For the most part, we’re still at level 1 of ANI. A great example is facial recognition technology that Apple uses on its iPhone and Facebook uses to auto-tag your friends in your photo. Focusing on machine learning and ANI already provide great benefits to individuals, organizations, and a society. There’s still a long way to get to AGI, which is a computer that is as smart as a human being. I’d assume that the UK government is investing in more ANI technology to help them in specific political and economic areas. This is still way ahead of other governments in the world. Also, collecting data while protecting people privacy is another issue of this strategy that the UK government is deploying. If the $16.8 million investment works out well, the UK government can set a great example for other countries to learn from and invest more in their technologies.

I feel as though the biggest issue that this article screams is the fact theirs no human workers within the warehouse, which means if companies do consider doing this it could lead to people losing their jobs. One thing to consider is that theirs some sacrifice that certain companies need to make if they do consider using this new innovated way to…[Read more]

One thing to say about this article is despite Netflix being one of the leading businesses in the streaming industry, even the slightest changes could affect them whether that’s positive or negative. With competition between the streaming industries heating up, one slip of change could lead to a newer competitor on the top. I feel as though theirs…[Read more]

An article released by CNN is titled as, “The CEO of this driverless car company still loves to drive.” Strange title I thought it was so when I looked the article it was what I expected. The article explains the […]

Steve Job’s was a great presenter in my opinion, however an important way of doing so that Mr Jobs did was by creating a presentation that was both simple and straight to the point on what he was presenting. This allows jobs to maintain the attention to the audience but also allow the audience to be able to follow along and understand the message…[Read more]

One of my biggest mistakes I made in excel was not making a back up. My professor for my excel class actually told us that we should do this in case we made a mistake. However, I didn’t think anything of it and because of that I faced the consequences. While doing an assignment I made a mistake in the excel documented and couldn’t go back and…[Read more]
